The space is nicer than a regular coffee place, but execution is so-so. Baked goods don’t taste fresh (maybe Sunday they’re still selling Sat goods?), and there’s no self serve cream/milk for coffee?

don’t really remember the coffee—didn’t have juice—but the way this space is split into two is pretty weird imho, if not necessarily unpleasant
